Maxxis Minion SS 27.5X2.5 2-PLY DH Tire

Maxxis Minion SS 27.5" Tire

When the terrain calls for a fast rolling and grippy tire, the Maxxis Minion SS comes to answer your calls. The small-knobbed center provides a low rolling resistance while the cluster of short, aggressively ramped side knobs give you that extra grip you need on those tricky corners. This tire is recommended for rear use only. We just know you like to go fast, so there's no other reason why you would be looking at the Maxxis Minion SS 27.5" tire. This tires excels in dry conditions on hardpacked to medium dirt.

This is a great tire from Maxxis. It rolls fast and corners great. PSI must be set perfectly for your weight and bike otherwise you may end up with too little PSI (slow rolling with corner knobs getting in the way) or too much PSI (terrible climbing traction). Find your sweet spot and enjoy the tire.

The EXO only version rips easily. I ripped two through the tread on flat XC style riding. Maxxis should just get rid of that version. The Silkworm version is nearly the same weight and gives the protection needed under the tread. I will never want a different rear tire.

This tire is awesome. grips good when pedaling climbs, I never worry about breaking traction. Rolls soooo fast, feels like a XC tire but corners like a DH pedal. Tire is a bit skinny though. I did the 2.3 in the rear and a high roller in the front. Best tire combo I've had I a while

This is a very fast rolling tire assuming you have the pressure right. It's pretty sensitive to low pressure in terms of rolling resistance. It's grips really well and really digs in when leaned over but if the surface is very loose, it can be too late before it grabs. Works really well with a Minion dhr ii up front.

The tire is an excellent choice for those who want something that is easier to pedal yet offers crazy good grip in the corners when leaned over. Potentially a great tire for endurance type races or for those who like long rides and want an efficient tire that can be aggressive when needed. Pair with an aggressive front tire with large side knobs as this tire needs to be leaned over to get max grip.

is this a tubeless?

BEST ANSWER:For Maxx is tires the TR designation makes it tubeless ready. It's a patent thing and I believe Mavic owns the term tubeless. The minion ss works fine as a tubeless tire, at least the TR version does.
